It was a construction site accident with several critically injured patients and the quick actions of three Boca firefighter/paramedics saved all the patients’ lives. The trio, who were competing in the Fire Rescue East Conference in Daytona Beach, took home top honors for the actions in the staged scenario.
For the third year in a row, Boca Raton’s EMS Competition Team won first place at the high-profile event on Jan. 22, where they competed with 20 teams from across the state.
Members of Boca’s winning team included Jeff Lazzeri, James Haag and Shea Miller.
“I think it tells you a little something about Boca that we placed first in the past three years,” said David Eddinger, Boca Raton Firefighters and Paramedics spokesman. “I think it shows that Boca is a world-class service, one of the top EMS departments in the state.”
